Waverly,
IA (Sharewellnewswire.com) September 11, 2012 - A new generation of
self-propelled transporters, designed and produced in the United
States, carry 30 to 500 tons and excel where others do not – over
irregular services, in congested aisles and around tight corners.
The transporters engineered by Wheelift Systems Group serve diverse industries including aircraft and shipassembly, heavy manufacturing, mining, nuclear spent fuel and transformer assembly.
Custom engineered and manufactured in central Iowa, Wheelift’s
transporters are available with very heavy load capacities plus
movement flexibility as small as one thousandth of an inch.
The
transporters can cross a wide range of surface irregularities including
open grating, sloping drains, in-floor rails, misaligned expansion
joints and ramps, all without the difficulties that are inherent in
conventional methods.
The
new generation of self-loading transporters typically has six to 12
inches of precision vertical lift as a function of their equalizing
suspension system. Wheelift transporters are available with deck
heights as low as 18.5 inches and load capacities up to 500 tons.
Transporters
are designed in two basic configurations: “Headed” where the power and
control system is in a raised compartment at the rear of the
transporter and “Headless” where the engine and controls are integrally
located inside and under the load deck. The latter allows the
transporter to enter and exit from any direction under stand-supported
loads. Wheelift’s low profile, self- loading transporters can lower
down and drive under raised loads, then lift and carry those loads to
the next assembly station.
Wheelift
announces full tandem operating capability. The transporters provide
entirely new capabilities for in-plant heavy assembly systems that have
never before been available to industry. Two to four or more
transporters can work in tandem while moving freely over any type of
floor surface. The Wheelift Systems Group is part of Doerfer Companies.
Wheelift Systems Group specializes in very heavy capacity in-plant tandem operating transporters (normally referred to as IP-SPMTs or In-Plant Self-Propelled Modular Transporters) and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). For more information visithttp://www.wheelift.com/contactinfo.html.
